incels genuinely hate everything.
its decent archive of information.

 

[baqqrih]

I've found that, sometimes, it can actually have some decent information on it when it comes to some lesser-known events that have otherwise barely been documented (There is barely much else on the English internet about this Chinese mass killing that happened thirty years ago besides one other Reddit post from some Chinese-speaking guy talking about it in further depth).
But really I just don't care for the site as a whole, not much there that's worth spending your time reading.

makes me giggle a bit reading some of the things but most of the time it’s like someone vomited a bunch of internet speak and popular trends and spread it on a website with their feet
that being said it’s still not too bad

It's a good way to learn more about da interwebz, their culture influenced the soyjak wiki(templates, writing style and tone, etc.) and they aren't directly opposed to us as shown with the fact we have a positive article on there.

However they remain le enlightened centrist on issues such as pedophilia and zoophilia which I don't like, and their levels of mindbrokenness when discussing zoomers and newTRANSPHOBES are boggling.

It's ok.

it's fine for shit that happened 10+ years ago but near-useless otherwise

Trvke, it's a good resource if you want to make a youtube video on random lolcows or shit nobody cares about, or if your just reading for a laugh.

 

[Dr Frumpus Croid]

I find the humor cringe but it’s good for information like everypony else has said.

 

[Canadian]

To be fair, I go on the site only about once every six months so and I didn't know it existed prior to using the sharty.

i like it

 

[bowl]

It's something of it's time, it's not really useful for up to date info. Really only good for old 200's stuff that nobody cares about.

 

[Coalyma (Big fat crybaby)]

Outdated

 

[oreoreviewshow]

it's a good place to read about le old internet but a lot of the articles feel like they were written out of pure seethe

 

[NekoRightsActivist]

It's the last relic of the good old internet that still available to the general public, it's pretty dead tho, no reason to browse it unless you are autistic enough to care about obscure 00s shit.

 

[Plato]

Abandonware and obsolete

 

[amethyst]

i went on the offended page and the pages about shock sites on it when i was like 10
dont remember how i even found it
its decent i guess

 

[Brickshithouse]

It's not bad, but it varies greatly in quality. In regards to information it's actually quite useful, especially for old internet shit no one else cared to document at the time. Sure, most pages about such things haven't been updates since 2008, but this also means these historical archives don't get vandalized by retards like what happens with Soyjak Wiki. It has some interesting practicality given that people occasionally use it to dump information places like Wikipedia won't allow.

On the other hand, a lot of it consists of insanely overdone jokes, porn disguised with overdone jokes, and people using it as an outlet for their inane rage against some shit no one cares about. Sometimes it becomes very difficult to tell how much of the page the writer actually believes.

 

[XXX_SKIBIDISIGMA_XXX]

It's good, even if they hate 99% of all things ever they are funny and useful info-wise

 

[jerry_blevins]

Encyclopedia dramatica can be very useful and informative it preserves lolcow history too

The Allure of Encyclopedia Dramatica: A Deep-Seated Appreciation


Encyclopedia Dramatica, often viewed through a lens of controversy, holds a unique and significant place in the landscape of internet culture. My deep love for this site stems from its chaotic yet captivating approach to documenting the complexities of online communities. Unlike traditional encyclopedias, which strive for objectivity and neutrality, Encyclopedia Dramatica embraces satire and irreverence, capturing the wild and absurd nature of the internet in a way that feels both authentic and engaging.


At its core, Encyclopedia Dramatica serves as a mirror reflecting the zeitgeist of online culture. It fearlessly tackles a wide range of topics, including memes, internet phenomena, and controversial figures, often pushing the boundaries of what is considered acceptable discourse. This unapologetic attitude fosters an environment where users can explore the depths of internet humor and critique without fear of censorship. It allows for a candid exploration of societal norms and cultural taboos, making it a fascinating study in the evolution of digital communication.


Moreover, the site plays a crucial role in documenting the rapid development of memes and trends that shape online interactions. As internet culture evolves at breakneck speed, Encyclopedia Dramatica captures these shifts in real time, providing a historical context that is often missing from more conventional sources. By cataloging both the humorous and the bizarre, it helps to preserve the rich tapestry of online life for future generations.


What I find most compelling about Encyclopedia Dramatica is its ability to foster a sense of community among its users. It serves as a gathering place for individuals who appreciate the absurdity of life and the multifaceted nature of internet culture. In this space, users can share their interpretations, challenge one another's views, and engage in discussions that span a wide range of perspectives. This communal aspect not only enriches the experience but also encourages critical thinking and creative expression.


In conclusion, my deep love for Encyclopedia Dramatica is rooted in its unique approach to documenting internet culture through satire and irreverence. It stands as a testament to the chaotic beauty of online communities, capturing the essence of what it means to navigate the digital world. By engaging with the site, I am not only entertained but also invited to reflect on the complexities of modern communication and the shared experiences that bind us in this ever-evolving landscape.
